Since you know possible characters I recommend to use an external mode. See
"List.External:KnownForce" mode in john.conf (or john.ini) for example. Also
see doc/EXTERNAL for more info.
But... If I understand your pattern correctly you mean that the password
contain only characters a-v and digits 0,1,3,5,6. Then keyspace is
sum(27^i, i, 10, 16) = 82834383187294870546773
and unfortunately it's VERY big for ssh format.

OMP works fine for me on linux. Which version of jtr you use? Are you see
something like "... (8xOMP) ..." when run "./john --test --format=ssh"?
